How do you know people on BlueSky are bandwagoning their LLM fear / hate: a case study. A very good telling sign you're not being rational about something is when your priors are so intense, you fall for just about any scam / hoax aligning with said priors. Such is the case for GenAI on BlueSky.

This needs to be repeated often enough so that people don't forget. Mass murder commited in white gloves doesn't stop becoming mass murder - especially when the racist rationale for the murder is abundantly clear.

What I said before - you guys need a disciplinary court. The highest court in the land making a hyper-partisan decision based on outright lies and manipulations is just not something that should stand. The justices should know they *are* accountable before someone other than God.

The only thing any Trumpist asshole deserves when posting about morals, free speech, censorship, aggressive language is an appropriately selected screenshot of Trump or one of his cronies doing the same thing but up to eleven with a "This you?" comment. Literally. Should be the only reply.

I've read the text (somehow found the full version via reddit links, not going to pay a dime to those mfs) and I have to say, this movement has to be quashed in the bud before it lays eggs. The obvious way of playing on typical right-wing sentiments, the need to label people, divide them into...

The Virginia redistricting vote is yet another example that worldwide, the so-called liberal camp has switched their default answer to the right-wing "hey, you're cultured folk, you have to follow the rules and be tolerant" from "you're right, let me rethink this" to the more appropriate "fuck you".

The level of insight and intellectual rigor present in pope Leo's writings makes me hopeful that we can have, at last, a pope that also serves as a public intellectual for the Catholic Church. For all their strengths and weaknesses, none of the popes I remember fulfilled that function.

Poczytałem trochę o tym Radevie, więc już mogę być ekspertem od Bułgarii. Dla mnie gość wygląda raczej na multilateralistę w stylu Erdogana niż na drugiego Orbana, no ale "pożyjemy-zobaczymy".

I know chances are slim, but I'd love this guy to be the next Dem presidential nominee. He's got principles, is not afraid to speak out and not afraid to act outside of "polling consensus".

Finally done with my EuroSky migration :)

I had no idea who "Clavicular" is, but there's been a lot of posts on him, so I looked him up. I was right to have no idea who "Clavicular" is.

For decades, people have advocated for withdrawing money from the bank at the counter instead of digging a tunnel to the bank vault; Anthony Gavin, however, took a different approach.

Z kategorii "jakie piękne wycie": alternatywna rzeczywistość w Ordo Iuris. Otóż nie wiem czy wiecie, ale Orban przegrał dlatego, że zastosowano bezprecedensowe środki propagandowe, przez co biedaczek nie był w stanie się przebić ze swoim przekazem do wyborców 🤡🤡🤡

Few things give me as much joy as seeing that disgusting Russian Trojan horse finally beaten. He can run to Moscow and join his pal Assad for all I care, together with Szijjarto and all those other assholes.

Oof, I see Pope Leo is not letting go of a certain topic: www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

If the Iranian negotiators want regime change, they should record the inevitable offer of "we'll let you collect toll in the Strait as long as 20% of it goes to Jared's crypto account" and make it public.

Dobra, drogie ludki z pl.soc.polityka, pomóżcie. Rozumiałbym "coming out" Matysiak 4 miesiące temu. Nawrocki był relatywnie świeży, jeszcze nie zaliczył największych wtop. Ale teraz, po aferze krypto, wecie SAFE i kampanii dla Orbana? Przecież to jest po prostu wpisanie się w obóz alt-prawicy.

Don't worry, I'm sure bishop Barron will gladly explain how these are just abstract musings on the Catholic stance on war, with completely no connection to the current events.

Now we place bets on whether that "logical centrist" is going to be Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson.

No time for the lettuce jokes I see. The updated picture is looking like this: Trump was desperate to get a last minute deal, got *something* out of Iran, didn't understand it, Israel wasn't notified, they didn't agree to it, Iran was convinced coercing Israel was part of the deal and now they mad.

All right, is it time for the head of lettuce vs ceasefire deal memes?

Jeden pozytyw z obecnych rządów Trumpa to taki, że libki pozbyły się złudzeń, że z MAGA-prawicą można postępować cywilizowanie i to cokolwiek da. Jeszcze parę lat temu taka akcja na rympał z TK jak obecnie w wykonaniu strony liberalnej byłaby nie do pomyślenia.

We all know what's the real reason why "JD might not attend". He's not part of The Family.

So, let me quickly make sense of all of this. Trump has been convinced that he can still make Iran a second Venezuela, where the same people stay in charge, but he now gets a cut of the profits. Sure sounds like a great deal and I'm certain everyone will be very happy!

So I still think this is just prep time for that planned invasion of Kharg Island and Trump thinks he's being super cunning again.

Somehow felt relevant again.

If you support this, you're just plain evil. I don't fucking care how you rationalize this, you're just plain evil. There is absolutely no moral dilemma here. It's pure evil, period.

It's insane how an intelligent guy like Nate Silver completely refuses to accept reality because it would mean challenging a lot of his priors.

In tomorrow's news: Joey Smith from the local 6th grade Math Lovers Club (self-proclaimed) questions university professor on application of differential calculus.

I must admit, I'm a little excited to see what completely immoral partisan hack Trump will find to nominate to DoJ. Maybe Stephen Miller? Or maybe Bove is tired of being a judge?

Ukraine imposing yet another round of sanctions against the Russian oil exports industry. Pictured: a sanctioned Taneko oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk.

So, the US just had its Chernobayivka moment against Iran. Let's see if they learn their lesson better than the Russians did.

At this point I'm not sure if I'd prefer Trump to actually do the Kharg landing or not. On one hand, if he doesn't, the whole operation will turn out to be a complete disaster and in reality, USA's strategic defeat. On the other hand, I shudder to think how their *ground op planning* would look like

Zachowanie Nawrockiego na konferencji prasowej pokazuje, że wie on doskonale, że właśnie zdradza interes Polski na rzecz partykularnego interesu swojej opcji politycznej, która coraz bardziej jawnie operauje na pasku Rosji. Dlatego się tak wkurzył.

So, how many days before delegated ICE goons kill someone at an airport?

Your daily reminder is that the USA is run by 4chan edgelords with literally zero moral reservations.

A real problem for the US government is that of all the racist shitheads it's recruited, half of them are antisemitic shitheads that worship Hitler while the other half are in awe of Netanjahu's militaristic fascism and those two groups will inevitably come to blows.

Koledzy z KJu dziś rozdzierają szaty nad tym, jak to potwornie PO łamie prawo, konstytucję i w ogóle wszystko, wybierając swoich kandydatów do TK. A wystarczyło się słuchać ostrzeżeń: www.facebook.com/ilintar/post... Tak, 7 lat temu to się dało co do joty już przewidzieć.

The current Iran debacle 100% boils down to the Trump administration's dismissal of all soft knowledge (humanities such as culture studies, history etc.) as "woke bullshit". It's *always* been a problem for American military planners, but the current admin turned it up to eleven. The result?

Sorry, the dominant view here is that the government is run by 12-year olds, but that's insulting to 12-year olds, because any 12-year old that's ever played Civilization or any other strategy game would've absolutely predicted this scenario.

Złamałem się. www.facebook.com/share/p/1C2k...

Oczywiście nie wolno zarzucać prezydentowi zdrady narodowej. Zarzut zdrady to coś, co wolno tylko rzucać prawicy przy każdej możliwej okazji. Prawicowy prezydent z definicji jest polskim patriotą i przez to nie może być winien zdrady.

Prezydent Nawrocki mógł wybrać rację stanu, ale to by wymagało faktycznej odwagi, a nie kibolskiej buty, więc wybrał zdradę. Decyzja w stylu tej o odrzuceniu przez PRLowski rząd Planu Marshalla. Innymi słowy - niezmywalna hańba. Może jednak niektórzy z PiS postanowią się ogarnąć i przełamać weto?

It's nice that they're now giving a realistic timeframe for the Iran war.

Okay, I think one thing has to be said explicitly, because I feel like a lot of people are missing it. Pure, sadistic, unfettered aggression is not "manly". It's not "masculine". It's not "strong". It's thuggish, weak and immoral, straight out evil.

The funny thing now is, the side to play for regime change might be... Iran. Iran knows that if Trump now chickens out, moves all troops away and they reopen the Homuz Strait, the US economy will quickly recover. But that also means they risk a repeat of the situation.

So, there has been talk that Trump wants regime change in Iran. The thing is, he doesn't. He was delusional enough to believe he could use the strikes to force a second Venezuela - a leader change *without* a regime change. But this had no chance for at least two reasons:

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

I see my favorite market index seems to be making a comeback:
